Description

Here at Matua, Sauvignon Blanc is pretty special. That's because back in 1974, we produced NZ's very first Sauvignon Blanc. 10 years later, we were making it in Marlborough. Now, Marlborough Sauvy is world famous for its unique, fresh flavours.

Producer Description

Matua wine is now enjoyed here in New Zealand and around the world - but we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Bill and Ross Spence. Armed with lots of Kiwi ingenuity and determination, these brothers set out to revolutionise the New Zealand wine industry. Ultimately, when they produced New Zealand's first Sauvignon Blanc, they changed the way the world drinks Sauvignon Blanc.Aotearoa (said "Ow-taya-rowah") is the name of New Zealand in Maori. It means Land of the Long White Cloud - it's long and skinny, pretty and green. and has some amazing spots for growing grapes. From the north to the south, New Zealand's wine growing regions all offer something special. The top island is sub-tropical and down the southern end it can get pretty chilly! We source our grapes from New Zealand's most renowned wine regions - Hawke's Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago.
